STARS INDOOR
Stars indoor tournament attracted huge
crowds. It was sponsored by Admiral
Canada and supported by reputable
companies such as Bell Canada, and
the defunct BWIA Airlines.
The prize money was not lucrative but
the tournament set a standard by which
other indoor tournaments had to
acknowledge in order to attract teams
which were used to professionalism.
Caribbean Stars rented additional
seating to ensure that the supporters
were clear of the field of play and that
augured well for an enjoyable
atmosphere.
The tournament was held on the first
weekend of May and it allowed teams
to prepare for their outdoor programs.
The two-day tournament ended with
playoff Sunday where GS United is
usually the team to beat.
“Big Mike” is usually stationed on the
outside of the Arena where you could
always get special Caribbean foods
such as bread and shark and corn
soup.
Mike was an integral part of the event
as he provided a nice change of pace
for empty stomachs & struggling teams
